The world seems a lot smaller these days thanks to connective technology such as MP3 players, cell phones, PDAs, the Internet, and more. So what better way for girls to go global than with this Barbie Girl device? Barbie has been at the forefront of trendsetting for nearly 50 years and now she’s offering today’s young girls a way to share their passion for fashion, music, and chat with their bffs.

At barbiegirls.com girls can create their own, personalized online space—everything from designing a "room" to creating a character—where they can then play games, chat with gal pals, watch videos, and even shop with earned virtual money. Word filters, moderation tools, and other safety features ensure that the virtual world stays friendly and fun to all visitors, but the added security and benefits of this Barbie Girl device are ingenious.

Create a look that’s all your own -- from hair, eyes, and skin tone to clothing, accessories, and makeup.

The Barbie Girl device is basically an MP3 player with attitude. First, it offers a range of customizable fashions and accessories, delivering the next generation of fashion doll play. Second, it is a music device with 512 MB of on-board memory (able to hold about 120 MP3 or 240 WMA-file songs). Third, the Barbie Girl device acts as a "key" for girls who have a room on barbiegirls.com. Girls who have this device and who have physically connected them into one another’s computer docking stations can become "best friends" and chat in "secret." It adds a more personal touch to the site experience and an extra layer of safety for parents. The device comes with a secret code, as well, that once entered on the site can allow its user to unlock additional pets, games, hangouts, fashions, and more. To get additional secret codes, girls will have to buy more Barbie accessories, hunt them down on the Internet, or possibly ask their new online friends.

Barbie Girl Green comes with two hairstyles, two faces, a skirt over leggings, a dress, a halter top, and two pairs of shoes that can be interchanged to match the owner’s current mood and style. The tech gadget also includes adjustable earbuds, a belt clip, and a durable storage case so it’s easy to take everywhere. Additional packs of fashions, pets, and accessories are sold separately and offer the ability for girls to make their Barbie Girl as unique as themselves.

Dazzling Nails is one of three games you can play online to earn B bucks.

The online world of Barbie Girls offers plenty of time killing fun and lets girls earn more B bucks to spend on virtual accessories. There are three games that can be played over and over, each one taking about 5 minutes to complete and rewarding players with 10 B bucks. Dazzling Nails lets you paint and decorate a set of nails (you can even select rings to go on the hand’s fingers), and then allows you to print out the design so you can wear the nails, too. Mix a Music Video lets you choose one of five songs then add in an animated background, icon, and character to create a unique music video. Give Ken a New Look lets you makeover Barbie’s boyfriend so she’ll notice him again. There are plenty of outfits, cars, careers, and more to choose from for his new style.

Barbie’s world is chock full of places to visit and things to do.

Also online is a small town filled with things for your Barbie Girl to do. There are boutiques, a pet store, and a furniture store to shop in. There’s a salon for beauty tips and a café for a quick jolt of caffeine. There’s even a movie theater where you can see trailers for upcoming movies -- and earn 20 B bucks for every one you watch. Or you can just stroll around the park and see what other Barbie Girls are up to. Whether it’s an introduction to online communities or old hat to your 9-year-old, the Barbie Girls world is a friendly, fun, and safe place for girls to spend time.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for young girls, August 28, 2007

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Barbie Girls MP3 Player - Green (Toy)

My daughter actually wanted this toy so badly that she saved up the money to purchase it herself......not bad considering she's only 7 years old. I think it's great. It keeps her busy and she loves it. Her 3 year old sister even has fun just watching her with it and listening to the music. The only thing I worry about is the online access on the Barbie site.....I keep a close watch to make sure the chatting is appropriate and so far...so good. A great buy- would recommend it to friends.

This review is from: Barbie Girls MP3 Player - Green (Toy)

My 8 year old daughter recieved this toy as a birthday present, and she really enjoys listening to it. The volume does not go up very loud, so I do not have to be concerned that she could damage her hearing.

The only issue is the toy's durability. We are currently on our third player in less than a month's time. The first player simply didn't work at all. I exchanged it for a second that worked for about two weeks then just fried. I was able to exchange the second for yet another player. I just hope this one lasts a little longer. If you do purchase this toy, be sure to keep your reciept.

This review is from: Barbie Girls MP3 Player - Green (Toy)

we had high hopes for this mp3 player. my 9 year old daughter saved her money and bought herself this. it DOES NOT work with subscription services like itunes or napster. you are going to have to purchase tracks. even after i purchased songs from walmart site, we couldn't get them to stay on the player. also the player kept turning off every few seconds even after fully charged. this thing is cute though. cute accessories to go with it but we are returning for one that is compatible with napster. it's just easier that way. my daughter was heartbroken.
